      'The Constitutionel puts some melodramatic bravado into the mouth of the Czar on learning the entry of the fleets into the Black Sea , and the message to the Governor of SebastopoL On hearing of the entrance of the fleets into the Black Sea lie is said to hare evinced the most perfect calmness . In the evening , when talking in . his circle of courtiers , composed of tne highest personages and superior officers , he ia said to have remarked , after announcing to them the entrance of tbe fleets , " When battle is offered to Russia , she always accepts it ; « he can vre&r mourning for a fleet , but not tor the national honour . 1 expected the resolution come to by France and Great Britain . I am not , there fore , taken by surprise ; every order has been civen be forehand in anticipation of an act which , b y Dreakin ^ treaties , releases me from the obligation of tliem . " It appears certain , ia fact , that the Emperor asked Prince Monchikoff whether he could make head nguinst the formidable squadrons , the movement of which he expected in tho Black Sea . The Qrand Admiral is said to have replied , " Conquer them , no j fight and dio to tho last , yes !"

      Tie Russian couriers , bringing the reply of the Russian Government to the notification of the entry of the combined fleets into the Bb * jk Sea , reached London and Paris earl y in the ^ eek . The Git * does not treat the entry of the fleets as a casus belli , but he instructs his ambassadors to ask whether the fleets of France and England intend to elerciee an armed neutrality , or to lend aid to the Turks against Russia . The best answer to this shuffling evasion is , that the fleets have already convoyed Turkish reinforcements to the army in Circassia .
